Patch 14 - Looking good for release
Jay Wilson posted on twitter saying it looks like the spells we have now, are going to be what we have at retail. But as always there can easily be more balance changes as they find needed.
what is currently in the beta is what we intend for ship, but we're still tuning and things can change.
Undocumented Changes
As always there are loads of undocumented changes in the patch.
Luckly we have Apoc to help round them up! If you see any in the game not listed, give a post so we can add it to the over growing list! (List will be updated throughout the day)

Game UI
"Equipped" label now appears above equipped item during tooltip comparison
The Spell UI has had a slight update (See Below)
New tabs for Account and Social Options have been added (See Below)
Chat Channels had a very small UI update better showing who's in the channel (picture)
Level
The Resplendent Chest makes a return to the Defiled Crypts (picture)
There is a new lootable container in Cemetery of the Forsaken: Gravedigger's Bones
New "A History of New Tristrom" book has been added, but does not do anything (picture)
The waypoint in the royal crypts has been moved to the start
The chest that always spawned before Adria's hut can now spawn as some other container
Gear / Items
Many affixes have new level requirements (rendering them unusable since last patch)
Town Portal casting now has new sound
Character and Quest
Gold rewarded from bonus quests scaled up (eg: +50g from first quest bonus to +175g)
Changing skills in town no longer induces a cooldown
Character control is disabled now during the logout or exit game countdown
Characters now play a new sound when you select them
Other
Automated emotes (eg: "Healed") show as chat bubbles
Ghastly Gravedigger and Ghostly Murderer monster type changed to "Undead" (was "Human")
Small Spell UI Changes
Some of the buttons and design of the spell UI got an update in patch 14. One of the biggest is seen in the third picture where in elective mode, you can now drag and drop your spells. (It should be noted that it is a known bug that you can not move them from the Skill UI to the Spell bar)
Nightmarish Champion/Rare Packs
With patch 14 came the new Nightmarish mob pack. These guys will fear your character for a few seconds on hit!
Account and Social Options
Two new tabs have been added in Patch 14. It looks like the Social tab will allow you to edit the "Friends Achievement Toasts"
Am I just blind or did they remove the option to turn off destination pings? I find those quite annoying. I would rather find where I need to go on my own.
i don't know if these 2 things were in the other patchs but i will point them out if they weren't:
- u can "loot" a decaying fallen shaman in the den of the fallen dungeon
-there was in the cathedral a place where u enter a room and there is some kind of conjurer near a book stand that have about 2 sentences of dialog than he attacks u and he is an epic(purple) mob.
-another room in the cathedral where u can loot black mashrooms.
-there is a small event area where u "loot" a dead villager near a small fenced graveyard with 4-5 graves and 4-5 mobs raise from the ground.
but your on windows, it dosnt matter, you still have to tell it to run as admin sometimes on some programs.. >.<
but the key was just letting it set, after about 10 mins it finally poped up for me.
I guess my computer is a cursed type of "unique" then.
Punning aside, the cmd program indicates that I have the built-in administrator but... it's not really there in that my account is apparently the only account. (/confused, followed by /wrist)
Will just let it continue to sit, and hope Blizzard can find a fix to this.

check if you are running it as admin under compatibility settings
had that issue at first as well
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
A hundred thousand worlds, ten hundred thousand wars. There is no respite, there is nowhere to hide. Across the galaxy there is only war.
@Sojourna: when you right-click the shortcut for D3 Beta, don't you see an option 'Run as administrator' ?
Not exactly. The option is labeled "Run as..."
Anyway, I'm still plugging away at various stuff so if anyone else has any other suggestions, please send a PM. I don't want to turn a news article into tech support, as much as that'd make me feel special.

They finally fixed it?! Have they also managed to fix the issue that's causing a soft limit of 2 players to a public game?
I had the same updated tools problem, just run it as admin and let it sit for a bit.
Problem is, I am the admin. >_<
But thank you for the suggestion anyway.

This has always been here. This got a nerf, actually. Those 4-5 mobs, used to be purple guys who always dropped blues. Now they are just normal mobs.
